Re: Request copy of Will

Under Washington law if your sister had a will the custodian of the will is required to file it with the county clerk's office (Superior Court) within 30-40 days of the date of death or time that they first realized they possessed the will. The children could demand that this be done as intestate contingent beneficiaries of the decedent's estate.
